From Site Visit to Sale Deed: What to Expect When Buying a Plot

Read Time:-2 Min

Buying a plot of land is a big decision—whether it’s for building your dream home or making a smart investment. But for many, the process can seem confusing. That’s why we’ve created this simple guide to take you through every step—from your first site visit to the final registration of your sale deed.

Step 1: Do Your Research

Start with choosing the right place in Pune. Look for Bhor, Kamshet, or Mulshi, which have good roads, schools, hospitals, and a scope for development. Also, decide on your budget, including hidden costs like stamp duty and registration charges.

Step 2: Site Visit

After shortlisting a couple of choices, visit the plot in person. Observe the area around the road connectivity and ensure that the actual boundaries are the same as on paper. Take photographs or videos so that you can decide later.

Step 3: Legal Checks

This is a very important step. Make sure the seller actually owns the land and that there are no legal problems, like loans or disputes. You should:

Ask for the Encumbrance Certificate (shows if the land has loans or claims)

Check the title documents to confirm legal ownership

Make sure the land use is approved (residential, commercial, etc.)

Step 4: Sign the Agreement to Sell

Once you’re sure everything is clear, the seller will prepare a document called the Agreement to Sell. This paper includes the price, payment schedule, and other terms. You usually pay a token amount (advance) at this stage.

Step 5: Register the Sale Deed

The Sale Deed, the final document that transfers ownership to you. It must be registered at the sub-registrar’s office. To do this, you’ll need:

The signed sale deed

Identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN)

Passport-size photos

Property tax receipts

Encumbrance certificate

You also need to pay stamp duty and registration fees, which vary by state.

Step 6: After Registration

Once registered, update land records (mutation) with your name. After that, you officially own the plot and can begin construction or development.
